Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-02 00:00:00 John Omeara Honestly, this is the worst book I have ever experienced in my entire existence. I never give books one star, unless they are this book, apparently. This book is unnecessarily difficult for high school and college students. There are large amounts of Greek symbols, long science-y words with absolutely no explanations or definitions, paper so thin you either rip it or get a paper cut every time you attempt to turn a page, and print so tiny you get neck cramps from bending over backwards trying to read it. I guess it’s a good thing that the print is so microscopic, though. If it were any larger, a hundred more trees would have been ruthlessly and unnecessarily murdered just so that a student could suffer from the Wrath Of Chemistry™. Another discouraging aspect of Chemistry: The Central Science is the sheer amount of information, weight, mass, depth, and length it holds—which is way too much. The amount of information in this volume is multiple times more than any human being, student or not, should be required to learn in an entire lifetime; it is not physically, mentally, or emotionally possible. I feel truly sorry for those professors who paid thousands of dollars for their university education, only to have both their extreme intelligence and toiled fruits of their labor wasted on this volume, which will likely continue to cause suffering and pain to high school and college students alike. Ultimately, Chemistry: The Central Science wasted weeks of my sophomore year of high school that I will never get back (as well as undoubtedly took years off of my life), degraded my confidence both in the hellhole that is chemistry and in life itself, and did not help me to learn one inkling of chemistry all year long. ISSUED: with force RETURNED: with pleasure 0/10 do not recommend

Review # 2 was written on 2014-07-06 00:00:00 Tom Burke I think this book gets as bad a rep as it does from students because they don't actually read it at all. Take it from someone who's read the book through and through- it's very decent. The authors try very hard to write in simple language that anyone would understand and there were even some humorous bits where certain concepts were concerned. I could've done with more sample exercises but the ones they provided were appreciated. There's quite a lot crammed into this text so I think they did the best they could with what they had to cover. Relieved I'm done with it though!
